Fritz Lang's sci-fi masterpiece "Metropolis" is one of the most celebrated movies in cinema history which to this day is the touchstone for futuristic and fantasy films. The film dramatizes the conflict between wealthy über-capitalists and rebellious subterranean laborers—orchestrated by a diabolical scientist capable of destroying them both. 

The print that we will screen will incorporate more than 25 minutes of newly discovered footage. This 2010 restoration is the definitive edition of the film’s dazzling visual design and special effects. The integration of scenes and subplots long considered lost endows Metropolis with greater tension and emotional resonance.

Total running time: 148 min.
